About This Trail
It is a rugged backpack that goes into the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne. The best time to do this is at the beginning of Spring when the water is high and the weather is cold. It starts at an elevation of just under 9000' and goes down to a low elevation of 888-492-0 888-492-0' 19 miles away. Coming up out of Pate Valley heading towards Harden Lake has an elevation gain of nearly 5,000', so be prepared for thigh quivering demands. The geological wonder, Waterwhell Falls is where the water flows down over a series of grooves in the rocks that can propel it.
